BIOGRAPHY Tracey Fahy is a fine art and reportage photographer/photographic facilitator based in London. She has an extensive list of clients ranging from; magazines & book publishers, charities, TV production companies, PR and corporate firms. She has also exhibited in art galleries and public spaces and held Artist in Residence positions in a number of diverse institutions. Her reportage work involves photographing various marginalised groups including refugees, individuals with special needs, children and young adults with learning and behavioural difficulties, disaffected youth, young teenage parents and the elderly. Tracey’s fine-art practice allows her to produce images with various pinhole, low-tech and toy cameras. "I enjoy shooting subjects that convey simplicity and serenity and these cameras are perfect for capturing this. They allow me to record the most mundane, everyday subjects in a way that stirs emotion and induces a hazy sense of memory. I explore the issues around memory as opposed to making a precise rendering of a scene or moment to produce intriguing images that are sometimes tranquil, sometimes haunting". Tracey is also an art promoter of the photobooth, which is another cheap, accessible and effective camera for producing portraits.
